the Nigeria Report is focused on poverty. The Report claims that the Structural Adjustment Programme, instituted in 1986, did

than promote productive investment. In summary, the Nigerian Human Development Report presents a fairly comprehensive strategic statement on poverty eradication--spanning economic, social, political and even cultural issues.
